Though season seven, episode one ended with Escobar sleeping alongside Ace Greene, narrator Iain Stirling welcomed viewers back the next day, briefly noting, “Yulissa has left the villa.”
Four days later, she expressed remorse for her actions in the videos, emphasizing that she had “no right in using” the word.
“I used it ignorantly, not fully understanding the weight, history, or pain behind it,” Escober, 28, wrote on Instagram. “I wasn’t trying to be offensive or harmful, but I recognize now that intention doesn’t excuse impact.”
“I’ve changed a lot since then, not just in how I speak, but in how I show up, how I carry myself, and how I honor the experiences of others,” she added. “Growth means recognizing when you were wrong, even if it’s uncomfortable, and choosing to move forward with humility and accountability.”
